I'm still against the addition of addProject(). I don't see why the
generator shouldn't install its own buildmanager plugin if it needs
that. Other IDE-frameworks don't allow to create a project yourself
either, not even for unit-tests. You always have to go through the whole
loop.

I'm ok'ish with the ui-less-controller, I still think this is not enough
for real ui-less tests, but its a first step into that direction.
